Black8thgen- resonator is the picture above

Would be good if you could attach it. Then you will have some kind of scoop like the mugen version. Might try to experiment with it

the resonator is the big black box. But the pipes attached to it is also considered as part of the resonator

I highly would not recommend leaving the pipe there exposed as it is.... its way too weak and flap around as its only made out of plastic and just think of what would happen if something got stuck in there or a build up of crap blocks the airway... EVEN tho you have the filter...

Pipe won't flap around as there is a bracket holding it in place...but even if i add a pipe going to front bumper(and i will, just haven't found the right size) , there will still be a chance of build up anyways.

just a quick question guys:

if i have a strip of LEDs connected directly to the battery in the engine bay, but have an on/off switch in between, when that switch is OFF, and the car is also OFF, will it still drain power from the battery? Or is it only when the switch is ON?

thanks.

u gona need a relay for it stop draining battery whilst the switch is off
it is best to tap ur power from an acc wire instead of constant

also careful when running wires(thin or thick) to your battery.
ive seen the wires burn up and leave track marks in the cars carpet.

ah shit.. reckon thats a high chance dez?

and at ej: how would i set up a relay? and what other power source do you suggest i tap in to besides the battery?

thanks guys

btw: also if i DONT setup the relay and just let it drain, do u think 5 30cm LED strips connected to the battery would run it flat quickly?
